"Better than the birds!" Bug Chucker is a bugged-out projectile game with a whole different galactic gravitational perspective. It's an easy game to learn and a blast to master. (From Cyan Worlds: the makers of Myst & Riven.)

Current App Store rating - five stars! 1/2

Addictive!!! (Apdisastr) I LOVE THIS SWEET GAME! (SD) I love this game! I can't stop playing!! (GM) Fantastic! (Sprixy) This game is amazing! (Squirtbert) Love it! Challenging and engaging. (DD) Better than the birds. (Mystess) Love the game. Great app... (KD)

The Galactic Bugship S.S. Treehugger, honored bastion and conveyor of the Great Tree, is under attack by the evil Sawz, the robotic minions of Lord Lahguh. Your mission is to help the dutiful bugs save their ship and preserve its precious cargo by ridding the universe of the Sawz, one galaxy at a time. Ready... aim... chuck!

Feel the buzz!

Each galaxy in Bug Chucker has loads of levels. (The first galaxy has 42 - don't forget your towel!) And each level presents a whole new way to look at a solar system. Sometimes you just need to blast through some space debris to get to the Sawz. Other times its a bit trickier - as the Sawz shield themselves behind fence-fields, tuck themselves cleverly behind a moon, or plan their attack on the far side of a few planets, suns or even black holes. Dont underestimate the gravity of the situation, or you might just find yourself in orbit.

Features: Forty-two initial levels in the first galaxy with more on the way. Graphics, physics, and gravity of astronomical proportions. Start chucking the Ladybug and move up to the Beetle, the Grasshopper, and the Mosquito - each with their own special skill. And more bugs are waiting in the wings. Three stars of achievement in each level - and if you can manage higher scores (good luck), youll further shine your stars. Exclusive left-hand mode that allows the device to be flipped to make playing easier for lefties. Unique dynamic scoring that lets the points roll in until you decide the level is over. Trouble with a level? You're allowed two skips, so you don't get stuck. Universal app that takes advantage of whatever iOS device you have - iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (with full resolution supported on Retina display and iPad.)

It's somewhat like Angry Birds in space. Multiple bug types with special abilities that you fling them past the planets (gravity puzzles) to hit the baddies hiding behind crates, gaining points for smashing things and picking up leaves for bonus. Sounds deceptively simple, but it's actually fairly difficult. I've had to use the skip button once already in the first 9 levels (out of 42 at launch).

Controls are simple and intuitive. Touch the cannon, drag where you want to fire bugs, and let go.

Also fun is that even after you get all three stars, the stars get brighter as you approach higher scores. So there's more replay value even past the third star's score plateau.

Here's a link that has a little more information about the game and here's a video. Hopefully that gives you a better idea about the game. Let us know if you have any questions and we'll try our best to answer them.

I'm disappointed that both SlideToPlay and TouchArcade have given this one low reviews. It's not a bad game at all. In fact, it's seriously quite fun. And there's a great balance to the levels. You can do them all multiple ways to get different scores.

The TouchArcade review obviously misses something with this statement:

Quote:

In a way, Bug Chucker also suffers from the same direction problems most were able to overcome with the original Myst. Experimentation was as vital in that as it is in Bug Chucker and the senselessness of testing is every bit as grating. You’re never sure if what you’re doing is right.

That's kind of the point of both Myst and Bug Chucker (and Angry Birds). Exploration. Experimentation. What happens when I do this? Cyan Worlds has nailed that here.
